WASHINGTON —Cell antennae mounted atop 30-foot-tall steel poles are
planned for some Montgomery County residential neighborhoods, but
residents in North Potomac are opposing plans to mount the nodes their
community.
“The marginal benefit of these cell towers being thrown up on front
lawns does not outweigh the negative impact,” said Andy Spivak of North
Potomac, who has started an online petition against the cell nodes.
Spivak said when a Gaithersburg neighborhood turned out at a public
hearing to oppose the cell nodes Montgomery County Councilwoman Nancy
Floreen sought an amendment to the zoning laws that would permit the
installation of the nodes without any public hearings.
“If I had a chance to voice my opinion, I would literally have one
question for the council member and that is, ‘Would you want one of
these things on your front lawn? You put one on your front lawn and
maybe I’ll reconsider my position,’” Spivak said...
